PASSION PLAY IS A .
I RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE
Thill Lent marks the beginning
of an annual presentation of the
Pallllion Play by Nazareth College.
n i. a rdigious observance rsther
than a theatrical production, char·
u.eteril'.l!d by a simplicity and a sin­cerity
which none the less is the
hi ghE:Bl art.
In presenting the story of the
Pa!!JI;on and Death of Chrillt in
lueh a manner, Nazareth College
has marked another step in a grad­ual
march back to a popular inter.
est in re ligion. For months the
whole college hall been working in
an atmosphere of high tension,
... nd undel'neath the mixture of
hard work and fun, there is a feel .
ing of joy and pride in being able
to have a part, however small in
the production. It seems to befit
the Lenten season, in which we
realize even more than we possibly
can during the rest of the year,
the depth and divinity of our faith.
Another cause ror our unusual
interest in thi~ play is the fact
that it was written by a former
Rochesterisn, Father Bernardine
Fusch of the Passionist Order.
Therefore, we feel a special re­spon~
ibility in making this playa
suceeu in the author's home town.
"Ve ronica's Veil," which hu
been called the great American
Passion Play, has been played in
Union City, N. J., with the great­eat
IUCOOSII for the past seventeen
years. It ill thill play which i. be·
ing pre!lented by Nazareth College
on three 'SundaYII, March 15, 22
and 29.
The play centers about the veil
with which Veronica wiped tlie
face of Christ on the way to Cal·
VAry. The Bcene of t he Impression
itself i, moat vivid and effective.
Other seenes that are of particu·
lar worth are the Agony in the
Garden, which by mean. of the
lighting effects. pr(!sent. the
Agony and capture of Christ al­most
in lIilhouettell lind the Cruci·
fixion which has all awful majesty
in the dim outlinllB of the three
crossell, and the single de$Olate cry
of the Mother of Christ. The
Court of Pilate, where the crowd
calls Cor the death of Christ and
the release of Barabbu. il alao
most impressi'·e.
The cast of over eighty includes
memberll of the College faculty and
student body, profe!!JIional men of
the city, and high !!Chool students.
Of these, some of the mOr(! import·
ant characters are:

Besides these, there are several
roles of minor importance, a s well
as dancers, Vestal Virgina, Ch ri.·
tianll in the Catacombs, Roman 1101-
dien, snd a mob of men, women
and children.
The College hall also formed its
own PaM ion Play Orchl!!ltra which
will be permanent. Composed of
college students and othel'll num·
bering forty, it provides the mu­sical

The Humble Carpe nter
Long ago in a little vilillge, hidden by dust-dad
hills and shaded by cypress and graying olive trees,
there lived one who was des tined to portray a story
of unselfish devotion and tender lOve the equal of
which the world has neve,' known, It ia the s tOl'y
of a simple carpenter, a story which has stirred the
ages, and roused in the breast of man a love and
adminttion that is stupendous. We love St. Joseph
as a father and as a brother, and beeau!ll! he is so
infinitc:lly human, undersunding our difficulties and
problems 110 adequately.
Pieture him On the Hight to Egypt, fearing for
hill pl'edous charges, wondering anxiously whel'e to
obtain food and shelter, yet fulfilling unhesitatingly
the Divine command. See him pushing t hrough the
night, across n limitle~s sea of Slmd, undaunted,
trusting only in God. There is heroi sm and courage!
During his lifetime at Naul)'eth with Jesus and
Mary, 1111 through the beautiful childhood of Christ
and in the later years, his tender solicitude and his
untiring labors are a beautiful lesson to all who
complain of the monotony of an everyday existence.
St. Jo&eph is our "greatest and. humblest" saint. He
is lhe man whom God chOlie to be the roster-father
of His Divine Son, the man who died in the arms of
Jesus and Mary~prudent, chaste, and humble--our
beloved Protector. We turn to him, not only in
Murch. but throughout the year. allll(!ach and every
year for help und consolation. His is truly the
kindly complI$8ion and understllnding or the meek of
hellrt, and so fOl' guidance we turn to him, who of
all intercessors cannot be denied~the carpenter of
Nllzareth.
P rogreu
There ill something about the word "progrellfi"

with the march of human destiny. Progress leavCll

provide an opportunity. Progress nauntB il.3 ban­ner

T H ~ GLEANER
Our college i~ progressing. It!s future and its
welfare is our future and our welfare. The goal
lies ahead. Inspiration and whole-hearted enthusi­asm
will aid its attainment enormously. College
life is not only for the prcsent. It is of the futul'(!,
also, and 80 closely woven into the fabric of our
later years that we csn not dispense with its true
meaning.
Succ(:ss for most of us is a slow process. We
wouldn't apprec:iate it it it, wel'e the sponta neouB
affair of the old dime novel days. Let the success
of our college depend on the best co--operation we
can give it. That i~ the best foundstion of all, and
on it we can build a mighty str ucture.

Easter, the heritage of all Catholics, means joy,
gladnen, happiness and peace. Over nineteen hun­dred
years ago "Our Lord arose in glory and the
stone was rolled away." This is not mere hearsay
but actual fact. and what greater proof is necessary
to testify that Christ was truly the Son of God. By
His resurrection He showed His infinite power over
life snd death; lI is J"esurredion was the culmina­tion
of sll Uil t.!achings. and ~mains the founda­tion

Today the spirit of Easter still lives in the
world, and we are prepared for the dawning of that
gloriou ~ day by the Lenten season. During this
time we follow Christ in His Passion. realizing the
greatnen of lIi& love for us, and recognizing anew
what we owe to Him. The tedious journey to Cal­vary
Wall made fo r us; the sins ot mankind were
weighing down that Crollllj that aching, bleeding
flead was bowed in death for His erring children.
However Christ did even more than this for nis
followers. He rose from Sepulchre and thereby
made the Catholic Church forever invulnerable to
any adver&e attack~.
ThUll in the twentieth century, when there are
existing hundreds of religious beliefs, we. together
with Catholic~ the world OVC1', continue to rejoice
on ~: ast\:r morn. The story of that first Eastcr hall

SAINT PATRICK
Proud are we in this twentieth
century to turn for inspiration to
one of the most appealing saints
of all time-Patrick. In his imi_
t ation of Christ he was preeminent
IImong the spiritual eonquerOMl of
the world since he was the lounder
of one of the most powerful and
lasting of slliritual empires. The
lIuthenticity of this claim is proven
by the faith and devotion of thou­sands
of his children in thill
chosen country of their adoption.

"This book," in Father Knox's

by Father Knox. The author, in
defending the faith against thellC
modernists, "howl where in their
dil!Courses they depart from the
true logical order and fall into fal­lacy.
This book, written with a
brilliance and a humor backed by

" I'll- teach you-to make lun­of
a cop. Wait-till- I get you!"
Faster went Jack in his elTort to
el!Cal}(! the handa of tbe law, but it
seemed that Buddy was gaining.
And now, hang it all! Here was
that fence again. Buddy could
climb fenres a bit more skillfully
than Jack, but Jack would never
have admitted it even to himself.
Suddenly Jack realized that his
foot had caught in the fence, Bud­dy
had almost caugbt up to him,
but he just wouldn't be caught. Hc
gavc one great jel'k. The foot
100llened, but he lost hil balance
and toppled head-first to the
gl'ound, striking his temple on the
sharp edge of a stone.
Buddy leaped to the ground a
few seconds after Jack. Of rourse
it really wa!l up to him to catch
the robber, or else he would have
been willing to give J ack a chance
to get anothel' little start. But why
didn't Jack get up, he wondered.
"Come on, Jack. You're caught
and I must take you to jail."
No answer.
A new thought struck Buddy,
"J ack, I say- are you hurt!"
Stm no answer,
Het!itant at first, wondering
whether it might be only a joke on
the pnrt of his playmate, yet gl'OW_
ing mo)'e and more fell'ful, Buddy
slowly approacbed the s till flgure
and began to shake him, He stop­ped
quickly, however, thoroughly
horrified st the !light of a stream
of blood Rowing down Jack's face.
Hil first impulse was to run
away. Why, if they knew he had
been chasing Jack, they might
think almost anything, He glanced
again at Jack. No-he wouldn't be
a coward. He remembered his
father's warning to do what was
riirht and ran to the back door of
the hoUI5C.
';Mu. Gleason, 0, Mrs. GlealSOn!
Come, quick! Hurry up!"
By the time Mrs. Gleuon ap_
pea red, Buddy was pale and trem_
bling and could scarcely 81leak.
"J.J ack! Over here--quick!"
Buddy's mother, who had also
heard his shout from her kit.chen,
came hurrying over after one
glanee from her window, She ar­rived
in time to help Mrs. Gleason
carry the child into the house and
to bed. Then she ran acron the
street for the Doctor while Mrs.
Gleason busied herself with the
large gash that was now swelling
and bleeding badly, Buddy stood,
s ilent and s till trembling, lit the
foot of the bed.
In a few minutes Mrs. Hallam
often from the lips of St. Vincent
de Paul and which Mother
Alphonsa so loved to repeat.
"1 am Jor God and the poor,"
returned with the Doctor. After
examining the wound, he looked
serious and shook his head slowly,
and even in the face of Buddy's
pitiful Illeading that Jack must get
well, he could hold out very littlc
hope.
"Come, now, Buddy, what hap.
pened? How did it happen?" asked
Mrs. Hallam .rter the doctor left
the room,
The slow, choked voice of Buddy
Cllma faintly: ';We were playing.
Jack was a robber and I had t.o
chase him. He started to cJlmb
ovcl' the fencc and his foot caught.
And then_lind then he fe ll." Turn­ing
to Mrs. Gleason he pleaded,
"Honest, Mrs, Gleason, I didn't do
anything. I wun't even near him
when he fell."
Mrs, CleallOn stared; "You were
chasing him? I might have known
it wouldn't have happened if you'd
been playing as you should . Chas.

should have known better. And
new-just look."
" But I didn't chase him over the
fence--that's where he went and I
had to follow him. 1 W81 a cop
and I hId to eatch the robber."
Bud's voice was no longer faint
as he realized his position and tried
to make clllar that he wasn't to
blame, but that he wal only doing
what a cop wal lupposed to do,
Mrs. Gleason's fears and grief
made Buddy'. prel5Cnce unbearable
to her, and bIlfore she knew it she
was !!ending him away,
"Go on home, please! I can't
have you around any more when
you've done this. Oh, go on out,
please."
Mrs. Hallam, who had been
listening s ilently, "ealized that she
would feel the same if- if- but
thank hcavens! it had not been

After assuring herllClf there W81
nothing she could do, she took the
child's hand and led him home,

The next morning Buddy was

her mind.
But Mrs. Glellson's attitude had

certain gleam of happiness that
partially replaced the sorrow there.
"Oh! I'll be so gilld to come.
And now that he's not hel'e, I'll do
everything he would do for you, if

me to--to---.art of look after you."
And his eyes shone at the

Early in the month, our good
friend, Father Leo C. Mooney, pl·e·
sented to U$ Father Warren of
Washington, D. C., who excited our
interest and enthuaiasm with a
very vivid talk on India.
The Senior Thespians presented
a play, "The Knave of Hearts" on
February 13. It was cleverly acted
and well reeeived. Those in the
cast were; Mary P. Lay, Eileen
AUnger, Madeline Ritter. Kathryn
Staub, Audrey Grein, Clara Dosch­er,
and Evelyn Semo.
1-'ollowing this presentation, the
Senior class held their long-looked
for party. With plenty of spirit
and an abundance of refreshmenta,
the affair was a succe!Sll.
Our principal, Sister Marcella,
spent a week in Detroit, where she
IIttended a convention of heads of
achools from all the states in the
Union.
A meeting of the Sodality was
held in the auditorium, and con­siated
of an Open Forum for the
discuuion- of several selected sub­jeclll.
The speeches that were
forthcoming proved intereating and
beneficial.
The ca$t fOl" the S(!niot· play,
which is to be given on the even­ings
of April 16th and 16th, has
been chosen. The name of the pilly
is "Artichokes for Dinner," and it
promises lively entertainment for
those who attend.

The Humble Carpe nter
Long ago in a little vilillge, hidden by dust-dad
hills and shaded by cypress and graying olive trees,
there lived one who was des tined to portray a story
of unselfish devotion and tender lOve the equal of
which the world has neve,' known, It ia the s tOl'y
of a simple carpenter, a story which has stirred the
ages, and roused in the breast of man a love and
adminttion that is stupendous. We love St. Joseph
as a father and as a brother, and beeau!ll! he is so
infinitc:lly human, undersunding our difficulties and
problems 110 adequately.
Pieture him On the Hight to Egypt, fearing for
hill pl'edous charges, wondering anxiously whel'e to
obtain food and shelter, yet fulfilling unhesitatingly
the Divine command. See him pushing t hrough the
night, across n limitle~s sea of Slmd, undaunted,
trusting only in God. There is heroi sm and courage!
During his lifetime at Naul)'eth with Jesus and
Mary, 1111 through the beautiful childhood of Christ
and in the later years, his tender solicitude and his
untiring labors are a beautiful lesson to all who
complain of the monotony of an everyday existence.
St. Jo&eph is our "greatest and. humblest" saint. He
is lhe man whom God chOlie to be the roster-father
of His Divine Son, the man who died in the arms of
Jesus and Mary~prudent, chaste, and humble--our
beloved Protector. We turn to him, not only in
Murch. but throughout the year. allll(!ach and every
year for help und consolation. His is truly the
kindly complI$8ion and understllnding or the meek of
hellrt, and so fOl' guidance we turn to him, who of
all intercessors cannot be denied~the carpenter of
Nllzareth.
P rogreu
There ill something about the word "progrellfi"
that we all like, a spirit that Jinks it inseparably
with the march of human destiny. Progress leavCll
behind it the realm of stagnant indifference which
deters action until a dim and uncertain future shall
provide an opportunity. Progress nauntB il.3 ban­ner
In the !ace of the present lind marchCll forward .
Sometimes progress is a misnomer. hut true achieve_
ment Is more than an experiment. It is an attain­ment.
T H ~ GLEANER
Our college i~ progressing. It!s future and its
welfare is our future and our welfare. The goal
lies ahead. Inspiration and whole-hearted enthusi­asm
will aid its attainment enormously. College
life is not only for the prcsent. It is of the futul'(!,
also, and 80 closely woven into the fabric of our
later years that we csn not dispense with its true
meaning.
Succ(:ss for most of us is a slow process. We
wouldn't apprec:iate it it it, wel'e the sponta neouB
affair of the old dime novel days. Let the success
of our college depend on the best co--operation we
can give it. That i~ the best foundstion of all, and
on it we can build a mighty str ucture.

Easter, the heritage of all Catholics, means joy,
gladnen, happiness and peace. Over nineteen hun­dred
years ago "Our Lord arose in glory and the
stone was rolled away." This is not mere hearsay
but actual fact. and what greater proof is necessary
to testify that Christ was truly the Son of God. By
His resurrection He showed His infinite power over
life snd death; lI is J"esurredion was the culmina­tion
of sll Uil t.!achings. and ~mains the founda­tion
of our belief. We live

Today the spirit of Easter still lives in the
world, and we are prepared for the dawning of that
gloriou ~ day by the Lenten season. During this
time we follow Christ in His Passion. realizing the
greatnen of lIi& love for us, and recognizing anew
what we owe to Him. The tedious journey to Cal­vary
Wall made fo r us; the sins ot mankind were
weighing down that Crollllj that aching, bleeding
flead was bowed in death for His erring children.
However Christ did even more than this for nis
followers. He rose from Sepulchre and thereby
made the Catholic Church forever invulnerable to
any adver&e attack~.
ThUll in the twentieth century, when there are
existing hundreds of religious beliefs, we. together
with Catholic~ the world OVC1', continue to rejoice
on ~: ast\:r morn. The story of that first Eastcr hall
not grown dim liS it has travelled down th ,'ough
the ages j on the contra,·y its significance has be·

splendour will envelope our lives and J esus Chriat
will rise again fl'Om the dead to live anew in our

"This book," in Father Knox's
own words, "is lUI attempt to put
together, and perhaps incidentally
to criticize, the results thus ob­tained;
an attempt, in fIIct, to ex­amine
the dogmas of the modern
mind as the prophets of the mod­ern
mind have tlet them forth for
UI ," The apparent ';\)oom in re­ligion"
as manifested by a treat­ment
of religiouF lIubjeets in the
newspapers by the "intelledual"
unbelievers or the time is answered
by Father Knox. The author, in
defending the faith against thellC
modernists, "howl where in their
dil!Courses they depart from the
true logical order and fall into fal­lacy.
This book, written with a
brilliance and a humor backed by
!fOund theological realSOning, is a
di stinct challenge to the modern
agnOlltics. It is a book no one
should fail to read.

Every once in I while there
bul'!!ts on the reader of biography
II work of marvelous ~ineerity and
beauty, a story which rivals the
romance, and surpasses the sscri­fiee
depided in many works of
fiction-a work that shines like a
glowing candle amid the darkneu
of sensationalism and plleudo-real­ism.
Such s biography is the life
of Mother Alphonsa-Rose Haw.
t horne Lathrop. The desire to
learn more about this wonderful
daughter of a beloved American
writer _ Nathaniel Hawthorne­and
admirlltion for the splendid
work which Mother Alphonsa has
accomplished, led me to read the
book. When I had finished , the
author'l wonderful clarity Ind
understanding left an un forget­able
picture of thi ~ marvelous
character.
Tbirty-two years of ~erv ice for
destitute cancer patients is Motber
Alphonsa's record_a tr emendous
undertaking, and one that re­quired
the utmollt in unselfishneS!!
and sacrifice. The atory of her
convel'!!ion to the Cburch lind that
of her husband, George Parsons
Lathrop, is no leS!! interesting than
the life Mother Alpbonsa led in
the midst of her Servants of Re­lief.
Her love of work is almost
difficult to underlltand. As. Dr.
Walllh says: "She had all the quali­ties
t hat make of life a moat
dllTlge rous adventure; and she
came out of it a glorious example
of unselfish heroism."
Her biography il ended with the
most appropriate of quotations,
the beautiful words which fell so
THE GLEANER
Buddy
(Continued from page 4, col. 3)
"You- will try- to-rob-that­thllt-
womlln's purse--wilJ you?"
"Yab! Some cop 1 COUldn't­catch-
a Ilea 1" came the taunting
response of the world', most law.
leu erimina1."
" I'll- teach you-to make lun­of
a cop. Wait-till- I get you!"
Faster went Jack in his elTort to
el!Cal}(! the handa of tbe law, but it
seemed that Buddy was gaining.
And now, hang it all! Here was
that fence again. Buddy could
climb fenres a bit more skillfully
than Jack, but Jack would never
have admitted it even to himself.
Suddenly Jack realized that his
foot had caught in the fence, Bud­dy
had almost caugbt up to him,
but he just wouldn't be caught. Hc
gavc one great jel'k. The foot
100llened, but he lost hil balance
and toppled head-first to the
gl'ound, striking his temple on the
sharp edge of a stone.
Buddy leaped to the ground a
few seconds after Jack. Of rourse
it really wa!l up to him to catch
the robber, or else he would have
been willing to give J ack a chance
to get anothel' little start. But why
didn't Jack get up, he wondered.
"Come on, Jack. You're caught
and I must take you to jail."
No answer.
A new thought struck Buddy,
"J ack, I say- are you hurt!"
Stm no answer,
Het!itant at first, wondering
whether it might be only a joke on
the pnrt of his playmate, yet gl'OW_
ing mo)'e and more fell'ful, Buddy
slowly approacbed the s till flgure
and began to shake him, He stop­ped
quickly, however, thoroughly
horrified st the !light of a stream
of blood Rowing down Jack's face.
Hil first impulse was to run
away. Why, if they knew he had
been chasing Jack, they might
think almost anything, He glanced
again at Jack. No-he wouldn't be
a coward. He remembered his
father's warning to do what was
riirht and ran to the back door of
the hoUI5C.
';Mu. Gleason, 0, Mrs. GlealSOn!
Come, quick! Hurry up!"
By the time Mrs. Gleuon ap_
pea red, Buddy was pale and trem_
bling and could scarcely 81leak.
"J.J ack! Over here--quick!"
Buddy's mother, who had also
heard his shout from her kit.chen,
came hurrying over after one
glanee from her window, She ar­rived
in time to help Mrs. Gleason
carry the child into the house and
to bed. Then she ran acron the
street for the Doctor while Mrs.
Gleason busied herself with the
large gash that was now swelling
and bleeding badly, Buddy stood,
s ilent and s till trembling, lit the
foot of the bed.
In a few minutes Mrs. Hallam
often from the lips of St. Vincent
de Paul and which Mother
Alphonsa so loved to repeat.
"1 am Jor God and the poor,"
returned with the Doctor. After
examining the wound, he looked
serious and shook his head slowly,
and even in the face of Buddy's
pitiful Illeading that Jack must get
well, he could hold out very littlc
hope.
"Come, now, Buddy, what hap.
pened? How did it happen?" asked
Mrs. Hallam .rter the doctor left
the room,
The slow, choked voice of Buddy
Cllma faintly: ';We were playing.
Jack was a robber and I had t.o
chase him. He started to cJlmb
ovcl' the fencc and his foot caught.
And then_lind then he fe ll." Turn­ing
to Mrs. Gleason he pleaded,
"Honest, Mrs, Gleason, I didn't do
anything. I wun't even near him
when he fell."
Mrs, CleallOn stared; "You were
chasing him? I might have known
it wouldn't have happened if you'd
been playing as you should . Chas.
ing poor Jack over the fence . You
should have known better. And
new-just look."
" But I didn't chase him over the
fence--that's where he went and I
had to follow him. 1 W81 a cop
and I hId to eatch the robber."
Bud's voice was no longer faint
as he realized his position and tried
to make clllar that he wasn't to
blame, but that he wal only doing
what a cop wal lupposed to do,
Mrs. Gleason's fears and grief
made Buddy'. prel5Cnce unbearable
to her, and bIlfore she knew it she
was !!ending him away,
"Go on home, please! I can't
have you around any more when
you've done this. Oh, go on out,
please."
Mrs. Hallam, who had been
listening s ilently, "ealized that she
would feel the same if- if- but
thank hcavens! it had not been
Buddy.
After assuring herllClf there W81
nothing she could do, she took the
child's hand and led him home,
doing her belt to comfort him, yct

a short time ago would have taken
up his whole attention. A figure
moving ahoue in the yard on the

attention.
"Hello, Mu. Gleason," he said in
a listless tone.
Mra. Gleason glanced at him.
Then, moved by the pathetic look
on the child's face, she said im·
pulsively, " Won't you come over

really couldn't help it. Anyway,
we want you to be our friend, even

Buddy's face lighted up with a
certain gleam of happiness that
partially replaced the sorrow there.
"Oh! I'll be so gilld to come.

sented to U$ Father Warren of
Washington, D. C., who excited our
interest and enthuaiasm with a
very vivid talk on India.
The Senior Thespians presented
a play, "The Knave of Hearts" on
February 13. It was cleverly acted
and well reeeived. Those in the
cast were; Mary P. Lay, Eileen
AUnger, Madeline Ritter. Kathryn
Staub, Audrey Grein, Clara Dosch­er,
and Evelyn Semo.

and an abundance of refreshmenta,
the affair was a succe!Sll.
